A photo has been published on the Internet that clearly shows that the research paper in Science Advances, which reported that the Arctic is a physical space and is directly connected through an ecosystem to a place polluted by humans is true.

A photo of two baby polar bears eating a black plastic sheet and resting quietly next to their mother.
The photo, released by the British media Daily Mail, was taken off the coast of the Svalbard Islands in Norway, and it proves that even though it is hundreds of miles away from continental Europe, this place is also not an exception to the garbage dumped by mankind.
“At first, I was very happy to see the beautiful and mysterious environment of the Arctic in person,” said Crea Wallerstein, who participated in the tour. “It was the saddest memory that plastic bottles, cigarette butts, and food packaging that you can only find at home were easily found even in the Arctic,” he added.
A research paper published in the journal ‘Science Advances’ also clearly revealed that the far-off Arctic is also flooded with huge amounts of plastic waste from humans.
In the paper, the study authors wrote, “Most of the ice-free waters of the Arctic Circle are contaminated with plastic waste. Plastic waste is abundant in the Greenland and Barents Seas.”
In addition, the thesis has been concerned with the problem of plastic waste in the ocean since 1997, when Charles Moore was engaged in a trans-Pacific yacht race and his way was blocked by a Pacific garbage island.
The number of such islands of marine plastic litter is only six known today.
According to some estimates, there are currently up to 300,000 tonnes of plastic waste in the Earth’s oceans.”
In addition, the paper said, ‘In the sea, sunlight and plastic are so finely chopped that sea creatures mistake them for seaweed or plankton.
20% of small fish have plastic in their stomachs. In particular, 90% of northern fulmer gulls, which are seabirds that live mainly in the Arctic, contain plastic fragments in their bodies.โ
On the other hand, such plastic pollution has a fatal impact on the ecology of polar bears.
In particular, organic pollutants that are not decomposed in nature accumulate in the body of polar bears as they are, causing hormonal disturbances.
According to experts, polar bears are at the top of the food chain that leads to plankton, fish, and seals, so the risk of accumulating organic pollutants in the body is also highest.
